In our experiences we often think that if we are not the winner, then we are a loser. But things aren’t really so black and white. Jenna and Rachel look at how we should respond to failure, and how failure is a good thing that helps us become the person that we want to be. Taking lessons from John Maxwell’s book on the subject, we talk about steps that we can take to help our loses become our lessons.

How to Communicate with Your Teen

Parenting blogger and author Melanie Studer joins us today to chat about the importance of keeping the lines of communication open with your teen. Our teens need us to help them prepare for adulthood, and we must make it a priority to make sure the important conversations take place. She discusses practical tips on restoring communication if the relationship has suffered, how to talk when your teen isn’t interested, and how to take notes to make sure that you cover the important subjects.

Join me on today’s podcast as I chat with Luke Villermin, author of A Teenager’s Guide to Investing in the Stock Market. As a middle schooler, Luke because interested in the stock market. When he was fifteen years old, he got a job just so he could earn money to open up a retirement account. His passion is to educate young people about investing so that they use time to their advantage to build wealth.

I highly recommend his book! It is an easy read. My thirteen year old read it and wants to share it with his friends. I asked him what he learned from it. He said, “I need to get a Roth.” If a young person would take these lessons and start investing, it could potentially save them millions of dollars.

A Teenager’s Guide to Investing in the Stock Market is available on Amazon.
